I think the advice posted above holds true.
If you really want to fly helicopters you will find out after those first few hours and the bug will get you.
It can take some time to reach the final goal but like lots of things in life if its worth doing its worth doing well and worth waiting for.
The first job after training which I suppose is often a teaching job can come as a direct result of who you trained with so pick that school carefully.
No matter what, if you love it don't quit.
I started flying at 35 am now 42 and love every minute of it. It took me 15 years to find the job to afford the training and the time to be able to cross the hurdle you are at.
As a Naval officer (Seaman)this proved frustrating and resulted in a fair amount of emotional baggage.
It can be done though even if you don't have the resources at the moment.
good luck and hang on in there.
